Deadpool 2 director moves to Sonic movie

In an interesting turn of events, Tim Miller has joined the Sonic movie project as the Executive Producer.

Miller, who recently left Fox’s Deadpool 2 due to creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds, is reportedly shooting the live-action/CG-hybrid film at Blur Studio in collaboration with Jeff Fowler. The video-game-inspired movie will be Fowler’s first time at the director’s helm.

“Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts,” Miller said. “The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for him to leverage his experience in animation to bring new dimension to this iconic character.”
